What killed them off this badly? Politics? Marketing? Audiences felt burned by Snyder too much to care?

It sucked

Don't get the hate

saw it, was good
don't get why (((people))) thought it was shit

The 'reshoots' thing gave too much credence to the meme detractors. It's fashionable to shit on DC/Snyder on Facebook and Reddit to accrue easy upvotes. Had they followed Snyder's vision, full steam ahead, at least it would have shown confidence. Instead, the 'reshoots,' bringing Whedon on to lighten it up, etc, validated the narrative of their struggling, and being in disarray. It was chum to the sickly sharks circling in social media. The film then sort of lost its lustre as it seemed like it was less a creative vision, and more of a test marketed compromise.

>Marvel fans dont want Synder Grimdark
>DC fans dont want Whedon quips
>Normies dont care due to boring and uninspired maketting
>Bad reviews
>Meh word of mouth

Ben being damaged goods didnt help either

There simply aren't enough Jews in the world to give this movie the bad reviews and worse box office that it is receiving. Nice try though Ahmed

The previews look ugly

People don't want to see a movie that looks like shit

Also people were burned by BvS (I heard normies talking about how much it sucked repeatedly)

It's a capeshit. I don't see how one capeshit can be so hated when it's basically the same as other capeshit.

Film was fine. Like most of these films, it's a solid 5/10.

Most people don't even know or care about reshoots/director, but any moron could tell it would be shit just from the previews

The fact that Wonder Woman is the only main cast member that is fully developed in an ensemble movie maybe the cause.

Not to mention, after having to wait for BvS Ultimate cut for the edit to make any sense, most likely going to have to wait for the JL Ultimate cut for this piece of crap to make sense.

Warner wanted a Marvel style reaping, should have gone , each character gets a solo movie, set up the universe, set up the world, set up future tails and leads for future films now

"FUCKING TAKE THIS! TAKE IT! SQUEEL FANBOY! WHAT YOU MEAN YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT HALF THE FAULTS OF FLASH?! SHUT UP! FUCKING FUCK SAKES FANBOYS! SHUT UP SIT DOWN AND EAT IT! EAT IT SQUEEEEEEEEEEEL AHAHAHAAHA KACHING KACHING KEEEEEEEEEEEERCHING BABY!"

Now WB is sat there like;

"So guys... How about we branch out into the multiverse? this universe fucked..."

>not enough jews in film/media
>35% of the industry, 2% of the population

nice try

Disney finally won. I don't even care if they rig the reviews but they definitely control the narrative which is that DC is edgy garbage and supporting them is bad because they are fascist, which causes critics to get a bit afraid of letting them off the hook, then Disney admittedly makes better movies than DC which causes people to say "wow even Thor 3 is better, I guess going to see DC movies is a waste of money and time" and on top of that Affleck grosses people out now.

Its just going to hurt. The good news is that if it can get to 92 million there's still a 1% chance it could hit a billion like Fate of the Furious did.

funny cause I just saw the movie is huge in hueland, I guess only them liked the movie

Yes, but plenty of people also didn't like it over here

Try running my post through Arabic > English on Google translate again you fucking idiot

It's being panned at the box office, the DC brand everyone loves is being drowned under the miserable word-of-mouth from BvS, SS, and now the reports that WW being decent won't save this film.

>all the course correction to be like Marvel because "they were not being as successful"
>it's doing worse than Man of Steel both critically and financially

fucking magnificient

>"wow even Thor 3 is better, I guess going to see DC movies is a waste of money and time"

TRUTH

>Nite Owl of Murder
>Oven dodger
>Anorexic Iron Man
>Lost power ranger
>Underwater Rob Zombie

JUST like my comics

This guy happened.

What the fuck did they do to Barry Allen. He became a flamboyant bitch.

Grant's Barry Allen was miles better.

> There's all sorts of scuttlebutt about the way forward for DC post-League: that Whedon's Batgirl is...unthinkable at this point; that they'll now turn the whole thing over to James Wan if Aquaman goes well; that they might just make it a Wonder Woman universe.

> There are wheels within wheels within wheels in every turn of the Warners studio this week and we'll see where it all lands soon enough. Or more likely, not soon enough.

WONDER WOMAN UNIVERSE
kek

mailchi.mp/theankler/the-ankler-preview-just-desserts-nov-16-2017?e=7b82bc3967

>Wonder Woman universe
OH NO NO NO NO OH OHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA

It's the 4th bad movie in the series and people gave up.

Why the hell cant they make these movies work lmfao

With a URL like that, how can one possibly doubt they have all the insider information?

They probably mean that they will abandon other DC properties and leave just Wonder Woman in it, putting other DC stuff in separate movies

THIS

It's a mailing list of this insider blog, or something

I havent watched the movie but did Whedon save it or ruin it?
Getting mixed messages

Warner Brothers, if you ever read this, the way forward is relatively simple.

>Put Patty Jenkins in charge of the expanded universe
>Get rid of Snyder but hold on to the editing team he used
>Get rid of Whedon unless you use him for a standalone Flash movie or something where quips are more appropriate
>Make a few lower-budget movies focusing on Batman, the more redeemable SS characters that survived, and maybe even bring Arrow into the mix (stuff that looks cool but doesn't cost $100 million to generate)
>When you've restoked interest, make another JL and do something with Braniac. He's a good villain and his technology can be customized to fit whatever plot you want
>No more playing whac-a-mole with CGI minions, that was only acceptable in Avengers 1 because it was SHORT, and in Avengers 2 it got tiresome. In JL it looks really boring.

Because they made the universe around the standalone Man of Steel which wasn't meant to be a franchise, and the relationship of the two central DC characters doesn't work if one of them was made to emulate the other in the first place (TL note: Man of Steel's gritty Superman emulating Nolan's grimdark Batman)

ruin

He put it more hopeful scenes, added dialogue, cut some universe building

But his scenes look like shit visually

So 50/50

Definitely ruined

All the decently done shots you'd seen in the trailers building up to now were scrapped by him and replaced with absolutely godawful imitations, with on-set locations switched for green screen, an over-reliance on CGI, and QUIPS QUIPS QUIPS

What do you think of About putting Jenkins in charge a la Feige?

Only a Whedon fan would say he saved it. Snyder's might have been shit but at least it would have been cohesive shit as opposed to runny stool.

>Disney/Pixar's Coco opens next weekend
>Thor Ragnarok is still performing well
>The Last Jedi comes out December 15
ouch

Woman in charge of something, that's not women-targeted specifically?
In Hollywood?
Lol no

Whedon fan here, and I won't defend him. It looks like he messed up whatever tonal characteristics the movie had beforehand. Doesn't mean it wasn't shitty already, but the quips sound hamfisted

Neither. The problems existed from square one. Between Snyder and Warner he was left to cure a gangrenous limb.

>Put Patty Jenkins in charge of the expanded universe

Why do people act like this is a good idea?

>What happened?
JOSH WHEDON

Your ideas are bad, the only good one you had was to get rid of Whedon. You would fit right in with all the WB execs though.

This is a good post.
BUT, Wonder Woman, to be completely fair, was the most Marvelesque DC movie to date when JL was still in production and was a complete success, so I do get why they tried so hard to steer towards another direction in such little time.

how much of the movie got changed?
watching those first trailers everything looks different.

Would have got my money if they had nigger Lantern with the deep ass voice

BvS was so atrociously shit that I swore I will never EVER watch a capeshit movie in the cinema ever again.
And I fucking loved MoS.
Snyder ironically killed capeshit for me.

Batman is definitely getting a solo film in the near future. He is still a reliable character.

its garbage for idiots and the public can only sublimate so much poison before they become nauseated. you all have a higher capacity for trash than the average human and are thus nonplussed by others repulsion at it

Because Wonder Woman was a well made movie, and the others were not.

>Still this much in denial
Okay, enjoy your barren movie wasteland ruled over by Zach's incompetent hand. Maybe if you believe juuuuuust hard enough he'll give you a movie that isn't crap...next year

So funny to see retarded DCucks hating on Whedon. The only thing that critics praised about JL was the FUN that Whedon brought. If it wasn't for him, this would have been sub 20% on RT.

You know you can always watch Marvel movies, they aren't shite

> said nothing about Zac
> talk about Zack
What about the rest of your shit ideas?

It was an unevenly paced ripoff of The First Avenger with a truly shit tier final act. Compared to BvS and SS, sure. Compared to actual competence? No.

But it's not clear whether it will be part of DCEU or not.

Marvel is dog diarrhea for shit eating manchildren with an iq equating to niggers.
I bet you still play with your legos, fucking loser.
I would rather rewatch BvS than watch Marvel capeshit.

>Get rid of Snyder

>Mos - genuinely good movie, main issue is with the product placement.
>UC is good but there is still way too much content for one movie, WB obviously mandated the need to be a Trinity teamup where Zach just wanted to make a TDKR and Death of Superman mashup
>Justice League - Absolute shitshow are warring visions, every single good scene is Snyder but most are cut to shit to meet the sub 2 hour mandate

Really makes you think who are the real ones fucking these movies up here

Only thing I've seen praised is WW as part of the agenda push.

Whedon's reshoots are notable and get a ton of criticism because they don't fit.

What will be the shitposting potential of this movie?

MoS had a big shitposting staying power - people are still arguing about them years after release - while Suicide Squad or even Age of Ultron have not - nobody cared about them a year later

Will JL have Suicide Squad shitposting legs, or rather more like BvS?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zack_Snyder

How is his name spelled?

I'm sorry for your loss

Synder happened, he's a shit director and the result of JL isn't surprising after Man of Murder and BvS

Notice how there are two other movies you're conveniently omitting from this timeline? Both were terrible and Snyder had 100% creative control over each.

Imagine being this immature about films Kek. Why does DC attract the spergiest?

I would guess there is like 30-35% Whedon there but the main issue is editing, NO SURPRISE THERE WB

The 2 second Whedon reshoot clips in the middle scenes are jarring af, actors look physically different and lighting is off
Also every scene feels like its been cut down by 50%

I honestly feel like this movie would have been better received if they just stuck with the Snyder vision start to finish then call this his last movie. At least then it would actually work as a movie

>doesn't even deny playing with Legos

Original Snyder vision was TWO movies

You would have 2 parts of this shit

Speaking as a Marvel fan, Man of Steel is NOT THAT BAD. In fact the only main criticism of it is from veteran Superman fans. It has a decent plot and raises some interesting conundrums, and the effects are fun to watch. Cavill acts capably. That's why people can discuss it as a legitimate movie.

The ones after it though...

>Lets call the main director of our competing franchise to fix our work
WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

>we have a hulk! XDDDD
>PPPFffft ROFLMAO!!!1

Legos are awesome dickhead

But I always preferred the un-branded ones. Like houses or castles or shit

Hell I'll go build a lego house right now and you won't fucking stop me

>haha you didn't address my autistic ramblings so I win
This isn't high school debate, brainlet.

MMMMM BOYS

go ahead, be a good soyboi.

GRANNY'S PEACH TEA

We finally get mature super hero movies, and Marvelcucks have to ruin everything.
*sighs*

>YEP SOMETHINGS DEFINITELY BLEEDING
>MUH BLOOD SUGAR
>MY MAN
>AWRIGHT
>HOPE IS LIKE CAR KEYS

This will be one of those movie that DC fans will try to forget exists like Green Lantern, Suicide Squad or Batman + Robin
At least Snyders last 2 DC movies have redeeming qualities

Snyder isn't mature.

He is good at pretending to be mature, which impresses the immature people

Your tears sustain me

enjoy not having a girlfriend forever

BOYS MMM!

Good job addressing the issue, really lends credibility to your other points.

see

Ask yourself what didn't happen instead that marvel did.
Marvel spent a long time building up to avengers. DC went from SvB - WW - JL

WOW, YOU HAVE QUITE A GRIP!

YOU DO *NOT* WANT TO GET INTO A GAY BUTTFUCK WITH THIS GUY

Snyder

triggered nu-male millenial roastie motorboater detected.

You don't have any "points". You were muttering something about Zac and Zack, as if I misspelled Snyder's first name, and I wasn't sure what I did to get your tard attention so I gave you a link to play with until your fit calmed down

i was gonna say superhero fatigue, but thor 3 has made $670million in 3 weeks

I don't think the facebook people knew anything about Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon.
They just know the superheros and actors.

This is how a mature person reacts on the internet.

Does the

still work?

not when even the DCEU hate this

then it's made for pajeets, hues and meheecans

Is coco the Mexican one? I saw that on a bootleg a week ago though...
Or is it something else?
Either way the guy you think is his grandfather isn't. Screencap.

Literally 0 (zero) marketing
Shitty trailer, it gives you no idea what the movie is about except muh explosions and shitty CG
No appeal to anyone since half the cast hasn't been set up yet, and only the US liked Wonder Woman so she has no pull anywhere else in the world.

>she's with you ?
>I thought she's with you ?
>LMAOXD
